I seem to recall a rule that monsters with Intelligence — cannot have different feats than what is presented in the statblock, because that's just how the species is. Am I remembering that right? Or can I legally swap, in this case, Lighting Reflexes for Track?

The Monster Manual on Nonabilities says, "A creature with no Intelligence score is mindless [and m]indless creatures do not gain feats or skills, although they
may have bonus feats or racial skill bonuses" (312). Thus a creature with an Intelligence score of — shouldn't have any feats other than bonus feats that are indicated with a superscript B. In that case, the Monster Manual on Feats says, "If you wish to customize the creature with new feats, you can reassign its other feats, but not its bonus feats" (7).
It seems like your mindless monster is stuck with the feat Lightning Reflexes.

@HeyICanChan I don't try to circumvent the rules, not really. I just make them do what I want so that I can build my character concept that the designers didn't account for, whether the rules like it or not, and with complete disregard for how much pain the rules may be suffering.
